hey ppl. had 2 make an account cause im concerned about my budgie, crystal. shes 7yrs old. so shes getting up there age wise.
anyways, shes been acting like shes in a lot of pain! she makes noise when she is eating and doing daily things, like shes in pain. like it hurts to bend over into the food dish. she has been much aggressive lately, like she doesn't want to be picked up or held, probably do 2 pain.
the vet i took my other bird kiwi 2, wants 2 see her before selling any meds 2 me. and a new pet appt costs more than i have atm.
im rly hoping for an outlet here that can help her with the pain. there's nothing wrong with her, other than old age. I think she just needs, some mild pain reliever daily.
not sure where or what to go looking for.
i was planning on calling several vet offices on monday asking if they will sell me metacam. I already no the dosage, and everything, from kiwi having his treatment.
I would rly like any feedback you have, or products that could help. I think its her feet, arthritis most likley.
My cockatiel seems to actually have similar issues, but reacts different, and doesn't seem to be as bad, but hes also younger. but from time 2 time, he will attack his feet, noth8ing real bad like bloody kind of stuff, but its clearly bothering him.
I do have several kinds of perches, and they walk around the house freely, as i have a small apt, and no other pets. just me and my wife, and the fids.
